Hi all, more cleaning has resulted in the following catch and release goodies: Stronglight Spidel sealed bottom bracket. I asked the group about this one a while ago when I found it in my loot. It's similar to later Mavic sealed units. It's all silver with a threaded body that has a lock ring each end to sandwich the bb shell of your frame. Email off list for photos. I have no idea what its value is, so maybe a trade is better. I need Super Record h/s, braze frt der, and (sorry master Dale) aero Campy brake levers or hoods. I found a ton of Campy downtube shifters lurking about, clamp-on Record up to clicking models. All conditions. Didn't know I still had em, no need to horde them. Email if you need something. More stuff (barely OT) can be found posted under ebay i.d. eencore by Monday eve. And now a couple of questions. Does anyone here know the origin of ITM bars and stems? I'm told they are the offspring of the old Ambrosio brand. Fact or fiction? How long has ITM been in existence as a brand? Question number two: Any input on the use of Concor saddles with alloy rails? I just aquired one on a bike that looks bitchin, it's still my favorite shape, but even though I can see no damage to the aluminum rails, I wonder if folks are using these reliably after all these years.
Thanks for any help,
